  • General Aviation Security
    General Aviation Security Status Report- November 26th, 2001 Prepared by Art Kosatka ACP-200 November 26,2001 Briefmg for ACS-1 Paul Busick SECURITY ISSUES for GENERAL AVIATION Introduction: Sec. 132(b) of the Aviation and Transportation Security Act states: General Aviation Program: Within 30 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Under Secretary of Transportation for Transportation Security shall transmit a report on airspace and other security measures that can be deployed, as necessary, to improve general aviation security to [the Committees]. There has been an extended effort to resolve these issues by an FAA Task Force consisting of Security Policy & Planning, Security Operations, Air Traffic, Flight Standards, Airports, General Counsel, Rule making, and others. The group has met repeatedly with delegations of most of the industry alphabet groups, including NATA, NBAA, AOPA, NASAO, Maryland Dept. of ~'Viation, and representatives of the individual airports, among others, and has continuing contact with other smaller interest groups. Other Federal agencies involved in the discussions include US Secret Service and NSC representatives. While there have been several interim agreements on various segments of the proposals, implementation of several has been delayed or overtaken by such intervening events as the shut-down of airspace around nuclear sites, which also encompassed numerous GA airports nationwide. The current DRAFT Air Traffic Services strategy is found in Attachment A, which addresses the details grouped by issues, and Attachment B, which summarizes the same required activities grouped chronologically in a now outdated draft letter to the Deputy Secretary. Most issues contained therein reflect current agreement except those surrounding LEO presence at the six affected Maryland airports.

    Executive Summary Martin State Airport 2020 Airport Noise Zone Update and Noise Abatement Plan Executive Summary Introduction Martin State Airport (MTN) is owned by the State of Maryland and operated by the Maryland Department of Transportation Maryland Aviation Administration (MDOT MAA). MTN is located in Middle River, Maryland. Maryland law requires the protection of citizens from the impact of transportation related noise. MDOT MAA is required to adopt an Airport Noise Zone (ANZ) that minimizes the impact of aircraft noise on people living near MTN and prevents incompatible land development around the airport. MTN is also required to implement a Noise Abatement Plan (NAP) if an impacted land use area exists within the noise zone. Although there are no impacted land uses within the MTN noise zone, MTN has adopted a NAP in the past and will continue to do so. Noise analysis required to complete the ANZ study results in a better understanding of current and future noise conditions at the airport for both MDOT MAA and MTN stakeholders, including communities surrounding MTN. The ANZ update intends to account for changes in total annual aircraft operations, aircraft types, and aircraft flight paths, which may result in changes in overall aircraft noise levels. Updating the ANZ involves studying airport noise and developing noise contours for both existing and future conditions at MTN necessary for local land use planning. The ANZ provides a means for MDOT MAA to identify, control, and prevent incompatible land development around the airport. The study also includes a review of the MTN NAP. The NAP prescribes measures to monitor and reduce or eliminate impacted land use areas to the extent feasible, while maintaining efficient airport operations.

  • The Future of Tipton Airport in Anne Arundel County
    The Future of Tipton Airport in Anne Arundel County by Pranita Ranbhise Under the supervision of Professor Melina Duggal Course 788: Independent Study The University of Maryland- College Park Fall 2016 PALS - Partnership for Action Learning in Sustainability An initiative of the National Center for Smart Growth Gerrit Knaap, NCSG Executive Director Uri Avin, PALS Director, Kim Fisher, PALS Manager 1 Executive Summary Tipton Airport is located in Anne Arundel County, Maryland. It is a General (GA) airport, classified as a reliever airport by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). It is the reliever airport to the Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI), which is located less than 13 miles from Tipton. The airport plans to extend their runway from 3,000 feet to 4,200 feet. The main objective for this expansion is to increase the number of larger turbo-planes and business aircrafts, which require longer runways that can use the facility. This will expand the airport’s market reach and user base, allowing it to improve the ease of flying for potential users. The purpose of this study is to determine the future demand for corporate service and other air traffic at the airport in light of the runway expansion, and to recommend additional variables that will help increase air traffic. The report provides a detailed description of Tipton Airport, including its location and context, airport services, and a comparison of these services with similar airports in Maryland. It also includes an analysis of the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats for the airport, based on a review of FAA records and recommendations, market analysis, general aviation airport demand drivers, the Maryland Aviation Administration (MAA) reports, and information from airport experts.

    FOREWORD - Welcome to Maryland by Air - Maryland has a rich history in aviation and many firsts have been celebrated in the Free State. One way to experience the State of Maryland’s heritage is through aviation. As we continue to move forward through the second century of powered flight, the Maryland Department of Transportation Maryland Aviation Administration (MDOT MAA) is pleased to present its biennial Airport Directory. This guide provides information on airport facilities within the State of Maryland including airport data, aerial photographs and noise abatement procedures to help pilots find their way around Maryland’s public-use airport system. This guide is also presented as a training tool for students of all ages interested in aviation and Maryland. Every effort has been made to include the latest and most accurate data available for each and every facility. The information contained in this directory is current as of January 2021. We hope this directory will help to make your flying experiences in Maryland safe, enjoyable and memorable. Due to ever- changing conditions, MDOT MAA assumes absolutely no responsibility whatsoever for actions taken (by pilots and/or their passengers) based on the information contained within this airport directory. We invite you to enjoy Maryland from a unique perspective - from the air. *** NOTE: It is the sole responsibility of each pilot to check all sources of information, including the most current Airport/Facility Directory (A/FD), Notices To Airmen (NOTAMs) and flight related weather information that may affect your flight, as well as making a visual inspection of any airport facility.
